Chapter 152
Drake’s expression shifted subtly.
Grace had just contacted him, emphatically insisting that he must never let Thalia and Asher discover their Connection.
Besides, Arno Jones had already been arrested. There wouldn’t be serious consequences even if Thalia learned about his connection to Jones.
Drake shook his head. “No, it wasn’t her.”
Thalia glared at him, her voice harsh. “Then how did you know? How did you know Malfoy had taken me to Harwich? How did you know about Asher’s plan? Did you deliberately call the police hoping we’d never return?”
“That’s not true!” Drake’s eyes flickered with urgency as he hastened to explain. “That’s not it, Thalia. I didn’t know Asher’s plan. I only knew you’d been kidnapped by Malfoy. I called the police to save you! How could I possibly just stand by and do nothing when you were in danger?”
Thalia’s patience was wearing thin. “I’ll ask you one last time. How did you know I’d been taken to Harwich by Malfoy?”
“It was… one of his associates who told me…” Drake averted his gaze, visibly uncomfortable.
Thalia’s eyes remained locked on Drake as she asked, “Why would Malfoy’s associate tell you anything?”
Drake explained: “My company was facing bankruptcy. I was seeking investment everywhere, but because I’d offended the Blackwood family, the Sullivan family, and your Winters family, no companies dared to help us. Then a man named Arno Jones approached me, offering to invest and save Ashcroft Group, with the condition that they’d become the controlling shareholder.”
This wasn’t the truth.
The person who had actually approached him for collaboration was Grace.
But he couldn’t say that.
“Arno Jones?” Thalia frowned.
The name was familiar.
Mark’s former employer had been one of Jones’s subordinates. If she remembered correctly. Jones had considerable influence in London, operating in both legitimate and criminal spheres, ruthless and unscrupulous.
He controlled dozens of companies. Financially, Jones was indeed formidable, and investing in Ashcroft Group
